Imagine for a moment that your childhood dream of living in a treehouse has come true. Except it’s not a tiny, tilting structure dad slaved over for a few weeks; it’s an elaborate, sophisticated, awe-inspiring Tree Haus on stilts nestled in a Montana pine forest. Welcome to the green o, an adults-only outdoors-y resort in Greenough, Montana that combines the serenity and beauty of nature with the ultimate in modern comfort and luxury. Featuring 12 Hauses, each with their own individual charm, this remarkable resort dazzles with its innovative architecture, sweeping views, breathtaking adventure activities and a culinary experience you’ll never forget. Spend a day with us as we take you through the highlights of this gem of hospitality.
Wake up to the sound of bird calls outside your Haus, reminding you that you’re as far from the hustle and bustle of city life as you can be while still living in luxe comfort. Get dressed and make your way to the Social Haus, the green o’s bar, restaurant, and central gathering area where you can treat your taste buds to a satisfying, delicious breakfast. Cuisine is one of the standout features of the green o. Executive chef Brandon Cunningham and pastry chef Krystle Swenson make culinary art together, serving unforgettable dishes that will leave an indelible imprint on your palate. Sample breakfast: Ricotta beignet and a whipped omelet stuffed with foraged mushrooms.
There’s no shortage of activities at the green o, so put on your sturdiest boots and prepare for a day of fun and adventure. Take a spin in an ATV through pastures that lead to Lookout Rock, where you can stop for a moment to take in the legendary views of Big Sky Country. As American writer Sandra Cisneros said, “You can never have too much sky.” There’s nowhere where that sentiment rings truer than in Montana.
After your ATV ride, go rafting down the river for a fly-fishing detour where you can try your hand at catching as much trout as you want. Save your next afternoon for the popular cattle drive. You’ll ride out into the hills to find the herd of cows and maneuver them through the scrubland (thought they may not be very cooperative). Very fun fact: Every guest gets a Lexus during the duration of their stay.
Dinner is served. A multicourse tasting menu featuring sophisticated takes on everyday favorites (like house-made sour cream and onion chips served with crème fraiche and Montana whitefish caviar) will leave you speechless. The rustic-inspired cuisine features locally sourced, often foraged ingredients with an emphasis on live-fire cooking. The dining room also features an open fireplace design to make you feel as cozy as Christmas morning.
Mingle with your fellow guests or take a moment to yourself. The views of the forest outside the Social Haus invite you to get lost in your thoughts and truly feel immersed in nature.
Climb into your heavenly bed, which boasts handmade gray linen sheets, a patterned duvet and bolster pillows, all made by local resident Lori Webster. Nestled and snug under the blankets, you can enjoy the view of the surrounding forest through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. If you’re staying in the Green Haus, you can drift off to the view of abundant, sparkling stars as seen through the skylight above the bed. A night under the stars, warm and toasty in your bed, visions of an exciting, exhilarating day dancing in your head – it doesn’t get any better than that.
